Why do I paint?

Some people say art is a luxury.
I say it's a necessity.

I can't live without it - that's why I paint.
Not because I want to. Because I have to.

For a moment, you're not thinking about anything. You're not thinking about work, about the list, about tomorrow. You're just there. In the waves. In the mountains. In the quiet place

This is your pause.
Your breath.
Your place.
